KRK Krakow

How deep the KRK board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from KRK. This reads the same 135 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily, whether the return leg is as thick as the outbound, what the clock here does to a Gulf working day and which of the destinations shut at night, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 99of the 135 destinations are flown by one airline
• 75destinations run less than once a day
• 5destinations have four or more departures a day
• 63%of the destinations name Ryanair, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at KRK

43 airlines appear on the KRK board and they do not hold it evenly. Ryanair is on 85 of the 135 destinations, 63 per cent of them, and on 62 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 95.4 of the 161.2 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.

The next largest presence is Wizz Air on 26 destinations. 29 of the 43 airlines at KRK appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.

An airport held this tightly is quick to book and slow to recover: with 85 of the 135 destinations on one airline, the second aircraft on a KRK sector is usually another Ryanair aircraft, and when there is not one the desk is looking at another airport rather than another airline. That is why the alternate airports listed above matter more at KRK than the destination count does.

How much of the KRK board is daily

Of the 135 destinations, 60 are flown at least once a day and 75 are not, 11 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the KRK board is flown 6 times a week.

An average of 0.14 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: KRK to Zakynthos Island (ZTH) is about one a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 25.6 of the 161.2 departures a day, 15.9 per cent of the whole board. With 55.6 per cent of the 135 destinations running less than daily, this is a board that rewards booking the outbound before the collection is confirmed rather than after.

The ten destinations out of KRK where one airline holds the sector and files fewer than seven departures a week, with the weekly figure taken as the average daily rate multiplied by seven rather than as a fixed timetable. 62 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from KRK

The desk holds the return direction for 109 of the 135 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On three of them the return into KRK runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gaps are Milan (LIN) at 0.43 out a day against 0.14 back, Istanbul (IST) at 2 out a day against 1.1 back and London (LGW) at 2.9 out a day against 2.1 back.

It runs the other way as well: London (LTN) files 1.7 a day back into KRK against 0.14 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at KRK

KRK keeps Europe/Warsaw time, two hours behind Dubai in summer and three hours behind in winter, because the clock here moves and the Gulf clock does not.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 07:00 at KRK, so a nine to six day at each end overlaps for seven hours. That is wide enough to settle a customs question at KRK and still make a departure the same day.

The night at KRK

16 of the destinations from here carry a documented night restriction of their own, which is a departure time question at this end rather than an arrival problem at the other.

Into Amsterdam (AMS) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from KRK that lands inside it leaves around 21:08, on a modelled block of 1h 52m. Into Frankfurt-am-Main (FRA) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from KRK that lands inside it leaves around 21:29, on a modelled block of 1h 31m. Into Munich (MUC) the door shuts at 22:00 local, so the last departure from KRK that lands inside it leaves around 20:36, on a modelled block of 1h 24m. Those three departure times out of KRK are worked backwards from the published window with the block time model this site uses everywhere, 720 to 880 km an hour by sector length with thirty minutes on the ground, so they are arithmetic rather than a timetable and the desk checks the published departure before it promises the landing.

Where KRK turns up on the rest of this site

The airport also sits behind the Poland country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport.

The site publishes 23 airport pair pages that start or end at KRK, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Krakow to Warsaw (WAW), Krakow to Helsinki (HEL) and Krakow to Bristol (BRS).

17 courier postings name KRK as the airport a courier here flies from: Ostrava, Krakow and Katowice.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with KRK already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 135 destinations above.
